about

MUD BAY kicks off 2022 with the 4th single from their acclaimed new album, Best Laid Plans.

Love And Forgiveness is a message for our times, a plea for goodwill and understanding in a world where such things seem scarcer than ever before.

“Love and forgiveness, true ties that bind

Are so very hard to find, seem to be in short supply …”

Set to an upbeat groove reminiscent of the late great Sam Cooke, the lyrics contemplate the challenges of living a virtuous life in an era when virtue is increasingly undervalued, of searching for truth in a time of partisan politics and 'alternative facts.'

Equal parts lament and celebration, Love And Forgiveness juxtaposes hard-learned lessons with sincere hope for better times to come.

And you can dance to it!

Available exclusively on Bandcamp from MUD BAY, The Band That Won't Go Away.

lyrics

In the warm glow of a dream or the cold light of a day
If your mind should turn to me as a memory replays
Would the scene you reminisce from some long gone time and place
Show the sweetness of a kiss that got lost along the way?

People tell me talk is cheap and I found out that it's true
For every promise that we keep, we break more than just a few
Got to think before you speak, try not to be cruel
'Cause pretty words don't mean a thing if what you say ain't what you do

Love and forgiveness, true ties that bind
Are so very hard to find, seem to be in short supply
So we see time after time how the heart deceives the mind

They say you reap just what you sow but I wonder if that's true
Do we ever really know the true cost of things we do?
I see the wicked rise so high, hold the righteous down so low
Under blind indifferent skies, should we wonder why it's so?

Love and forgiveness, true ties that bind
Are so very hard to find, seem to be in short supply
So we see time after time how the heart deceives the mind

Before you point your finger, take a moment to recall
Who tried to lift you up, let you down, watched you fall

Love and forgiveness, true ties that bind
Are so very hard to find, seem to be in short supply
So we see time after time how the heart deceives the mind
Yes, we see time after time it's the heart that rules the mind
